Sunday, March 1

Tomorrow - Monday, March 2, 2009 - is the five-year anniversary of when Marilee and I met.

And we'll be celebrating it at the same location, doing the same thing we did five years ago - browsing the books in the basement at Sam Weller's.

[As it turns out, we may not be going after all. Marilee and Chris typically go to the gym on Mondays; she just reminded me of that. I'm hoping she decides instead to forego the gym visit.]

There will be only one real difference, of course - we'll get there in the same car. That night, I'd parked my van at the 21st South Trax station and rode it downtown wile Marilee drove her Grand Am and parked around the corner from Weller's.

After finding several books that struck our fancy, as we were about to go our separate ways, she asked where I was parked. I told her, and she offered to drive me down to the Trax station. I gladly accepted.

Arriving at the station, I took a bit of initiative, and leaned in for a kiss and caught her not only by surprise, but on the cheek as well.

Aaahhhh, I love a love story. I hope in 5 years Dallas and I are just as happy. I have high hopes that we will be. This story give me a warm feeling in my heart. Enjoy your day together. (I hope she cancels her gym visit too.)
